Done very raw, super basic MVP. Would love your feedback whether this is useful or not to some and if you'd find a further developed version would be of good use. Thanks

This is incredibly valuable. I'd love to see this in my city (San Diego). Are you thinking about monetizing it? I know this is obvious, but I've seen some successful (similar) sites do featured listings, and at scale, I think this could be quite popular.

Thanks. Eventually I will. I'll add SD to the list.

It's a good idea. Maybe you could do a homepage similar to craigslist so people can select their city once you get enough events. Have you checked out the competition? I found hackathon.io doing something similar.

A little too minimal, it looks like one of those scam sites. You might want to give it a redesign. Other than that, I think this is an awesome idea, can't wait for it to come to my area (Toronto).

Thanks. I agree. It was just done quickly to throw something out for testing. Definitely needs a redesign.

The MVP is already useful to me...actually, I can't think of what more you could add (except a favicon). Can you do an NYC version?

I'll add it to the list =]

This is awesome! I've already registered for a few events found via the site.

Nice, that's quite useful.

Very useful, thanks!
